IS OUR WATER CLEAN ENOUGH?

CURRENT ISSUE IN THE WORLD... (Wee BW)

THE ENVIRONMENTALISTS’ POSITION: “It’s definitely not clean enough. We think industrial CEOs should replace their bottled water with water taken directly from their effluent streams. But we suspect that ‘Dioxin Tea with a Twist of Lemon’ will not become a favorite.”

THE POLLUTERS’ POSITION: “Yes, it’s clean enough. There are no longer any rivers that are actually on fire, and Deep Purple proved that a little ‘Smoke on the Water’ can be a good thing.”

THE WATER’S POSITION: “You’d think I would be very upset about all the toxic industrial waste, the endocrine disrupting chemicals, the pesticide and fertilizer runoff from lawns and farms, the untreated sewage, and all the rest of the pollution that finds its way into me. But, hey, I’m inanimate. So if you bio-reactive water-drinkers don’t care about all that contamination, why should I?”
